The royal family tried to control the coverage of the media about the Meghan's relatives, but they ended up writing to a British newspaper asking for respect to their privacity after the announcement of the ceremony. Unfortunately, everything was out of control when Mail on Sunday revealed that Morhan's father, Thomas Sr, was about to sell some images to gossip sites.

Everybody on media were looking for many answers and and even the Royal Palace depended on TMZ to get some information, because TMZ team were doing some interviews with Morghan's dad while he was thinking about not going to the wedding. Meanwhile, Morghan half-sister, Samatha, said she was hospitalized after her boyfriend tried to avoid a paparazzi while he was driving.

Who is the guilty about everything being out of control?

Weddings, funeral, parties at the garden, jubilee. The royalty has made all of these an amazing great pieces of art, except this one, it was out of control.

The Queen's Private Secretary, Sir Christopher Geidt, left his position after complaints by the Prince of Wales and Duke of York. If he could stayed in charge of this theme, it would be really different, he knew how to handle the things and even tell Harry what to do and what not to do.

Some think that Prince Harry will wear the ceremonial uniform of the Royal Marines on Saturday to marry Meghan Markle. The uniform is a mark for respect to the regiment he took over as Captain General.

How much the royal wedding will cost?

The company Bridebook which makes wedding planning, has calculated how much will cost the wedding. Many other costs associated with the day include the fact that Windsor will be locked down. The huge security bill expect to be higher than William's wedding even if his wedding was larger because of the terrorist threat level.

The person who will walk Meghan Markle down the aisle is Prince Charles, her future father-in-law. He said that he is really pleased to welcome Ms. Markle to the Royal Family in that way.

12 frightening ocean creatures

By: Mundo.com - 10 March 2015, 13:10

Compartir en Facebook

Deep below the surface of the oceans; places that few humans ever go, live some of the most frightening creatures on Earth.

This list compiles the strange and the rare; the dangerous and the harmless. One thing they all have in common though; they appear nothing like what we picture in our mind when thinking of oceanic animals and everything we might picture in a nightmare. Take a look at the 12 creatures listed below and see for yourself!

1. Goblin Shark:

nonstopecho

These rare sharks are often called living fossils and range anywhere from 10 to 18 feet long; they are identified by a long snout and large, razor-sharp teeth. They typically live in deep waters and feed on creatures such as crustaceans. One of the most recent sightings was by a fisherman off of the coast of Key West, Florida in April, 2014.

2. Zombie Worms:

Yoshihiro Fujiwara / JAMSTEC

These small animals are sometimes known as Bone-Eating worms because they feed on the bones of dead whales. They do this by releasing a strong acid which dissolves the bone, releasing the nutrients inside. If that isn’t strange enough, only the female worms do this; this is because male zombie worms are microscopic and actually live inside of the females.

3. Dragonfish

Glogster

One notable fact about Dragonfishes is that the males do not have teeth and do not eat; they also have no bowel system. What does this mean? It means, if you’re a male Pez Dragon, you live to mate and then you die. The females however, live on mostly crustaceans and shrimp. They have an appearance similar to an eel but are not related. Pez-Dragon’s spend most of their time in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean but have been known to head to the surface at night.

4. Anglerfish:

Monterey Bay Aquarium

This bioluminescence fish comes with it’s own fishing lure! On top of it’s head is an elongated dorsal spine; this organ lights up and the Anglerfish attracts its prey by waving it back and forth. Also known as the black devil fish because of it’s terrifyingly sharp teeth and large mouth; the jaw is actually able to extend and the stomach can enlarge to twice it’s normal size for larger meals. Thankfully, this is a smaller fish, only around 5 inches (12 centimeters).

5. Coffinfish:

nerdygaga

This little creature is also known as a Sea Toad but is really a type of Anglerfish. Even though the name sounds ominous, they are usually bright and colorful. Coffinfish dwell in the deep seas, around 100 feet and live on the ocean floors. A fun fact concerning this fish is that it can puff it’s body out to make it appear larger and even walk along the ocean bottom on it’s fins.

6. Fangtooth:

Real Monstrosities

Also related to the Anglerfish, the Fangtooth carry luminescent bacteria. This bacteria resides below the skin, just under the eyes of the creature that hosts it. This glow attracts plankton; which attract minnows and both of these are a food source. The teeth are long and sharp and the stomach is able to extend in size to allow for the consumption of larger prey.

7. Basking Shark:

Whitby Sea Anglers

Also known as the Basking Shark, is the second largest living fish. It can grow up to 26 feet long on average but the largest recorded was just over 40 feet. This is a plankton eating shark; a filter eater. It has a lot of small teeth, about 100 per row; however usually feed by opening their mouths wide with their gill rakers erect. Despite it’s large size and numerous teeth, it is not aggressive and harmless to humans.

8. Chaulidous-Sloani:

Wikimedia Commons

This truly scary fish is also called a Sloane Viperfish. This fish has the record for largest teeth on a fish, in comparison to the size of it’s head. This monster of a fish is only 11 inches long but it’s teeth are over half it’s overall body length! Like some of the other deep sea fish, they also have a long luminescent dorsal spine that works as a lure to draw prey in.

9. Megamouth Shark:

Real Monstrosities

This Shark is one of three living species of filter eating sharks. It has also been called the Megamouth Shark and is one of the rarest sharks living. There are only 50 recorded animals sighted to date. It is thought that it can sense electrical signals from even tiny plankton. When the level of signals reaches a certain point, this would indicate that it was time to eat.

10. Giant Isopod:

Peter Willows

This Giant Isopod is commonly found feeding on dead creatures along the bottom of the ocean floor. This animal is one of the few that many refer to as a living fossil. This is likely due to the fact that it hasn’t changed significantly in 160 billion years. When threatened they can curl their bodies up in a ball, leaving only the hard shell or exoskeleton, visible.

11. Stonefish:

Jeff Rotman

These beautiful creatures, sometimes referred to as Stonefish, can masterfully camouflage themselves. This is particularly frightening since they are poisonous, sometimes deadly, to humans. They have 13 spines that inject its attacker with some amount of poison that is determined by the amount of pressure put on it. The sting causes muscle weakness and even paralysis by killing tissues. Typically they live in rocky or coral environments, but can also be found on ledges or in sand. Unfortunately for the Stonefish, it is considered a delicacy in Japan and is served in finer restaurants under the name of sashimi.

12. Hatchetfish:

FlipSide

Hatchetfish get their name from the hatchet shape of their bodies. Though there are varieties of hatchetfish that are common to home aquariums, this is not one of them and should not be confused with them. They have the ability to create their own light through bioluminescence, but it is located towards the bottom half of their bodies and is able to be hidden from predators. There is not much known about their mating habits or lifespans but it is thought that they have a short lifespan of only about a year.

How to look as 10 years younger with these 10 hairstyles

By: carloscrc - 25 March 2016, 23:48

Compartir en Facebook

1. Side-Swoop Bangs

Photo: allure.com

A side-swoop bang is one of the easiest ways to shave a few years off your life. The side swoop is one of those bang styles that looks amazing on almost every woman. No bangs can make the area framing the face look severe and highlight wrinkles and crow’s feet.

Photo: allure.com

Blunt bangs can have the same effect. They can create a harsh frame for the cheekbones and forehead. Yet a side-swoop bang achieves two things: It can soften the area framing the face, and it can hide wrinkles and lines.

2. Side Part

Photo: premium-hairstyles.com

One of the easiest ways to hide your age is to part your hair to the side. This trick requires virtually no trip to the hairdresser. By simply parting your hair to the side, you can shave years off your life.

Photo: womansday.com

Similar to the side-swoop bang, the side part softens the area around the face. When the hair falls symmetrically on either side of your face, your hair can maximize fine lines and wrinkles as well as any unsightly flaws. Keep your hair parted to one side to create a soft look that gently frames your face.

3. Sleek Style

Photo: allure.com

We tend to associate sleek styles with youth and beauty in our society. It’s no wonder that sleek hair has the same effect on our subconscious. A sleek style doesn’t need to be difficult to maintain or a nightmare to achieve.

Photo: allure.com

The above style can be easily obtained by applying gel to the hair straight out of the shower. If your hair is naturally straight, you can let your hair air dry naturally. If you have wavy or curly hair, you should dry with a flatiron or blow dryer.

4. Add Body

Photo: quotationof.com

Similar to the sleek style, body can minimize your age too. Why would two seemingly conflicting hair styles achieve the same effect? Any style that looks like it took time to achieve can make you look younger.

Photo: womansday.es

Since many mature women have difficulty keeping their hair full and vibrant, anyone who has great body in their tresses can instantly look younger. To snag this style, simply blow dry your hair while your head is flipped upside down. Use a volume serum, gel or hairspray to ensure your tresses don’t fall flat.

5. Go Natural

Photo: allure.com

Many women mistakenly choose to make their hair look as unnatural as possible to stay young. This is a huge mistake! Keep your hair looking as young as you feel by embracing your natural style. Do you have curly hair? Don’t try to straighten it every day. Are you a natural brunette? Don’t bleach your hair to death all the time.

Photo: allure.com

Your natural hair will complement your face and style—not work against it. Afraid to go back to your natural style? Not sure what your natural hair color looks like? Consult a stylist to determine how natural you’re willing to go.

6. Say Hi to Bob

Photo: womansday.com

When Vidal Sassoon invented the bob did he know he was creating one of the most versatile styles the world would ever know? Probably not, but he did create an easy-to-style cut that looks great on nearly every bone structure.

Photo: popsugar.com

The bob can make almost any woman look younger. Yet not every bob looks good on every face. To find the bob style that complements your bone structure, look for celebrities who share your face shape. The best part about the bob? It’s easy to maintain and style every morning.

7. Face Framing Highlights

Photo: allure.com

Adding a few face framing highlights can completely change your entire style. Similar to adding layers (see number 8), the face framing highlight can change your bone structure—for the good. Have you ever wanted envy-worthy cheekbones? Are you jealous of women with knock-out lip structure? A face framing highlight can take your current facial structure and give it a little update.

Photo: allure.com

Not only are face framing highlights easy to obtain, they are inexpensive too. Instead of the full service of an all-over color or a full or partial foil, the face framing highlight takes very little time and money.

8. Add Layers

Photo: Pinterest

Adding layers offers nearly the same effect as the face framing highlight. Layers add dimension and movement to your face.

Photo: womansday.com

If done right, layers can highlight the best parts of your face, take away years and emphasize your best features. You don’t need to overhaul your entire look to add layers, either. In just five minutes, you can look young and feel young too.

9. Snag an Up Do

Photo: allure.com

Everyone looks amazing when they’re headed out the door for an evening on the town. Look like a million bucks (and a million years younger) with an up do.

Photo: allure.com

Not only do up dos look worthy for a red carpet event, they help pull back the eyelids and cheekbones, creating depth and reversing the signs of gravity. Just make sure your up do complements the shape of your face instead of working against it.

10. Stay Current with Trends

Photo: womansday.com

No matter what your personal preferences or style, as long as you stay up to date with current trends, you’ll always look younger than your age.

Photo: hairstyleshollywood.com

Keeping up with the trends not only shows everyone you are in the know when it comes to style, it proves you are as hip and as young as you feel.
